Silver (XAGUSD:CUR) has outperformed gold (XAUUSD:CUR) since the October low, but it remains below its resistance level in the $30 area.
However, according to Roth MKM analysts, in a Technical Strategy report, silver (XAGUSD:CUR) can “play catch-up and outperform.”
Silver (XAGUSD:CUR) is still almost 45% below its 2011 peak, while gold (XAUUSD:CUR) is reaching all-time highs.
“A breakout of Silver (XAGUSD:CUR) above $30 will suggest a $35.50 intermediate term price target, followed by $37.50, $44.30 and ultimately $50.00,” wrote Analyst JC O’Hara.
